                                <h2>A DIGITAL COMMUNICATION NETWORK FOR COMPUTERS GIVING RAPID RESPONSE AT REMOTE TERMINALS <br>
                                <span class="date">Oct. 1967 [ Davies06.pdf ]</span></h2>
                                <p>Continued ...</p>
                                <p>This group (Davies, Scantlebury, Bartlett, Wilkinson) presented a paper at ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles Oct. 1967 Gatlinburg, Tennessee (ref. [2]). This was the first public presentation of NPL work. Davies wrote in his historical note (ref. [1], Para. 6, Pg. 4), <i>“This was an important meeting, attended by many people who subsequently became engaged in packet switching. The paper described the network proposal and recalculated the per packet cost as 0.1 penny for the high level network which is much closer to present day tariffs.”</i>
                                </p>
                                <p>The first practical networks using packet-switching were the ARPANET and the NPL local network. The ARPANET evolved into the Internet, and the packet switching technique forms the undisputed basis of the worldwide computer communication systems in use today.</p>
